For the Love of DEI, Virginia Democrats Inject Race Into Tourism

The Virginia House of Delegates just released its final draft of the 2026 budget. Buried in a civil war on data centers, lifting marijuana restrictions, and giving themselves a 150% pay raise, Democrats are also seeking to spend millions on DEI tourism.

Virginia legislators are busy working out the 2026 budget. After months of back and forth with the state Senate and the governor, the Democrat-controlled Legislature released its budget proposal Friday evening, 100 days late.

Buried in the 600-page proposal, which cost taxpayers $50,000 to craft, is a marketing provision that seeks to promote non-white travel to Virginia.


The item, titled “Establish a Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic Communities Marketing Campaign,” aims to spend $4 million to develop a marketing campaign to attract out-of-state visitors from those minority communities.

It directs $2 million in fiscal year 2026–2027 and another $2 million in fiscal year 2027–2028. If passed, the money will come from the general fund of the Virginia Tourism Authority. The agency will launch a media campaign to bring travelers from black, Indigenous, and Hispanic communities to the state.

I have a faster, easier way for the democrats of Virginia to attract minorities.  Simply offer all ethnic groups except whites a guaranteed, livable, tax-free annual income of $75,000/person/family.  Now, they will have to start taxing white people substantially more but that will bring in the minorities.

Wait.

I thought indigenous people already lived there.
